The US today delivered a lifeline weapons shipment to Kurdish forces

The US today delivered a lifeline weapons shipment to Kurdish forces desperately kobane news defending the key Syrian border city of Kobane against Islamic State terrorists. Tensions have also been growing between the US and Erdoğan's regime. The US ruling class is increasingly unhappy with Turkey, a fellow NATO member. Washington believes Turkey has been backing the very forces the US has been bombing kobane news for the last few weeks, illustrating the unwillingness of some of US's partners in the misnamed Coalition of the willing”. A small advance party was reported to have entered the town to coordinate the arrival of their comrades. Many Kurds, some inside Kobane but others across the world, have expressed bewilderment as to why the world appears unable or unwilling to intervene when Isis fighters seem exposed on the hillside. Although UK operations are currently kobane news limited to Iraq the US has been striking targets within Syria, mainly "strategic" sites such as oil refineries. He and his sister hid in terror but the terrorists discovered the young girl then raped and killed her. US-led warplanes pummelled Islamic State fighters in Syria on Friday as Iraqi forces fought the jihadists west of Baghdad, with the US military reiterating that Iraq is its top priority. Two days of heavy air strikes by U.S. warplanes have slowed an advance by Islamic State militants against Kurdish forces defending the Syrian border town of Kobane. It has become clear that this was wrong,” Erdogan told reporters at Ankara airport before leaving on a trip to Latvia and Estonia. But this has been resisted by the Western allies while they work out which moderate opposition groups they will arm and train over coming months to provide the boots on the ground that the allies have refused to deploy to the region. Senior military sources have repeatedly told Sky News that it will take at least a year to train moderate rebels - and that who to train and where to train them has yet to be decided. In an alarming UN report this week presented to the Security Council, officials claimed that as many as 15,000 recruits from 80 countries have now been attracted to Syria and Iraq to fight with the Islamic State, Al Qaeda and other Jihadist groups since 2010. In a rare humane move, the Islamic State did however release 25 Kurdish children on Wednesday whom it had held hostage since May, after they were abducted from their school in Kobane. In Kobani, two successor entities to these states are clashing. The Kurds have organized three autonomous cantons stretching east to west from the Syria-Iraq border to close to the Mediterranean coast. The Sunni jihadis, for their part, have organized their own state,” going southeast to northwest. On Sunday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he would not allow Kurdish fighters to receive any transfers of American arms. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said at least one of the loads dropped had been picked up by the jihadists. A video purportedly showing this has surfaced online. But Erdogan indicated that Turkey was equally troubled by the weapons falling into the hands of the PYD, whose armed branch the People's Protection Units (YPG) has led the fight against the jihadists. Earlier this month, U.S. military officers were speaking of ISIS's momentum,” and how its string of military successes over the past year meant that quickly halting its advance would likely prove difficult if not impossible. Yet, as far as Kobani is concerned, that seems to be what is taking place. In a move likely to anger key ally Turkey, a C-130 cargo aircraft conducted "multiple" airdrops of supplies provided by the Kurdish authorities in Iraq. The PKK (the Turkish Kurdistan Workers Party, linked with Syria's Kurdish Democratic Union Party) fights against ISIS but it is on the terror list and ISIS isn't,” said Zilan Deniz, a protester standing outside parliament on Thursday. Kobanê provides further evidence that military action by the coalition is necessary to contain ISIL. But at the same time, we need to recognize that military action alone is not sufficient to defeat ISIL.
